INTRODUCTION
3� Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending to
the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
• Try moving cordless phones away from the Router and your
wireless-enabled computers.
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone
that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.
• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on
the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For
example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Router to
channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.
2� Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,”
such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless
communication include:
• Refrigerators
• Washers and/or dryers
• Metal cabinets
• Large aquariums
• Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects
such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between your computers
and Router).
